Second hand books
Three online book sellers have made their most recent catalogues of new, used and bargain books available by email or on their websites:
Museum Books
October 2007 book list (new and second hand)
This autumn list has many interesting new and out of print titles, available by mail order. The catalogue for the major Tutankhamun exhibition opening in London, in November, will be available soon. Subjects covered: Egyptology, Classical World and General Archaeology. Orders for new books that are not listed are welcome. 'Wants' lists for out of print tiles are also welcome.
Oxbow Bargain Catalogue 2007
Last year’s bargain catalogue proved to be a big hit - it seems that great books at rock bottom prices are always popular. With that in mind here’s our selection for Autumn 2007.
There’s an excellent array of completely new bargains, including some Oxbow publications reduced for the first time, along with some old favourites and some books which, for whatever reason, just haven’t apppeared in a catalogue for years - I’m sure you’ll be able to find a home for them!
All our stock is limited - with some titles more so than others - so please do get your orders in quickly to avoid disappointment, and feel free to phone us to check titles are still in stock. I’ve tried not to include titles with seriously low stock quantities, and I’m planning to highlight these in a series of subject-specific emails over the next few months, further incentive, if it were needed, to sign up to our email list!
Their books tend to be on the pricey side, but they offer some excellent titles.
